- you like a broad desert open world instead of low‑gravity
Choose Borderlands 2 if…

- you want access to community‑made mods on PC
- you require cross‑platform save via Steam Cloud
- you crave a weapon pool of over 4 million unique guns
How to Decide
Borderlands: The Pre‑Sequel is known for its low‑gravity looting adventure on Pandora’s moon with Handsome Jack, and it’s primarily used by looter‑shooter fans. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Borderlands is priced at $19.99 and adds split‑screen co‑op; Borderlands 2 offers robust PC modding tools and cross‑platform Steam Cloud saves.
When weighing these options, focus on three concrete factors that actually differ: the one‑time price point (the original Borderlands costs $19.99 versus $39.99 for Borderlands 2 and $59.99 for the Pre‑Sequel), the co‑op modality (split‑screen support in Borderlands versus online‑only in the Pre‑Sequel and Borderlands 2), and the availability of PC‑centric features such as modding tools and Steam Cloud cross‑platform saves, which are present in Borderlands 2 but absent from the other two titles.
All Alternatives
“Original Borderlands shares the exact loot‑shooting, RPG mechanics and comedic tone.”
“Same looter‑shooter RPG franchise; identical gameplay loop and humor as the Pre‑Sequel.”
